Honestly, this is getting a bit tiresome. The world has displayed a lack of interest in privacy with regards to digital systems. Therefore Microsoft has chosen to enable features required for making the computer more personalized by default, but still allow users to opt-out. Most other vendors don't even give this oppertunity when installing, but can only be done later via some deep-down config change. If you are paranoid about your data privacy, please just use one of the many privacy focused OS's. In the end you will always be forced to trust something, or you might as well go off the grid in a third world country. Because thats really the only place complete privacy is realistic.

> displayed a lack of interest in privacy The tech industry really needs to stop confusing "lack of interest" with "total ignorance". Very few people have any idea that this kind of data collection happens at all (because the tech industry hides a lot of it), and even fewer understand the consequences of permanent retention of data and what machine learning can do to it. > If you are paranoid about your data privacy http://harpers.org/archive/1964/11/the-paranoid-style-in-american-politics/ http://harpers.org/archive/1964/11/the-paranoid-style-in-ame...
